Who qualifies for weight loss medication

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully assess your eligibility for weight loss medication. Generally, doctors look for patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. They will review your full medical history, current health status, and any existing conditions or medications to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you. Contraindications are also carefully considered, so it's vital to provide accurate and complete information in your medical questionnaire.

What weight loss medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Weight loss medications like semaglutide (a GLP-1 receptor agonist) work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. They help you feel fuller, reduce cravings, and slow down stomach emptying, leading to reduced calorie intake. This isn't a magic pill; these medications are most effective when combined with a healthy diet and regular physical activity. You can expect gradual, sustained weight loss over several months, not overnight results. The goal is to support you in achieving and maintaining a healthier weight long-term.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation, especially when first starting or increasing the dose. These often improve over time. Your doctor will discuss all potential side effects and what to do if they occur. It's crucial to seek medical advice if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or any other concerning symptoms. The doctor will guide you on when to adjust your dose or discontinue the medication if necessary.
